    ladies and grey hair what products do you use.

    Hi Francine, I've had to dye my greys out for the last few years now (Only 31!), and I find that the temporary colours work just fine. If you use these you don't have to touch up the roots which makes colouring easier. I use Country colours or Castings semi permanent colours. They last up...

    Gas Bottles ?

    that brings back memories. I found that it is best to put a clause into the lease stating specifically what you expect the tenants to pay for in regards to the gas. I found that most of our issues where caused by the property managers not providing the tenant with the necessary information...

    QLD - Yeppoon, anyone know anythig about the area?

    Hi Shady, I know that very few houses are actually selling in Yeppoon at the moment. A few specs have dropped in price about $100 000 in the last 6 months and I see they haven't yet sold. Probably would end up a good investment if they decide to build the new port, then the town would see a...

    Removing floor tiles - how to?

    Hi lily house, We renovated last year and had to remove the floor tiles in the entire kitchen area. My husband used a hammer drill with a chisel bit(apparently you can turn the drill bit off and it just hammers) worked really well although if we were to do a large area again we would...

    Hotondo builders

    Hi Land, We have built twice with a Hotondo builder. Not bad to deal with, and much cheaper than the other builders we looked at (these were for basic spec homes). One thing I will mention though is that we know some people who built with another hotondo builder in the area and she had an...

    Depreciation

    Sorry Georges, I kind of hijacked your thread for a minute there! In regards to your question, I asked my father (Chartered Accountant) the same question a few years ago about my new build and he referred me to Neil. He said that accountants very often miss the small things which can add...

    Who pays bottled gas costs for IP?

    This is what my property manager is recommending. I was wondering how it would work when the tenants leave if they still have 3/4 of a bottle left. They don't fill the tanks on site, they just exchange them for full ones. No credit is given from the gas company for taking away half full...

    Who pays bottled gas costs for IP?

    I don't like gas hot water systems, but the new government energy effecience rules meant that it was either gas, or and extra $2400 for solar or heat pump. If this gas hot water system ends up being too much of a pain, how much would you think it would cost to have a normal electric hot water...

She seem very keen to spend my money to...

    Who pays bottled gas costs for IP?

    Hi everyone, I have an IP with a gas hot water system. Bottled gas is used for the system, and so far my tenants have always paid for the bottles to be exchanged when empty (they don't fill the bottles onsite). It is written in the lease that the tenants pay for gas, but my new tenants as...
